Description
This collection aims to revamp the Skyrim experience via small-but-sweeping changes. This collection is not for people who want high-level uber spells and epicnessz. I like to have to think while playing.

The most important change you will notice is from "Difficulty For Everyone", which when set to Master difficulty will make combat 4x deadly, causing many encounters to be won or lost in the first several hits. I also recommend playing with HUD opacity set to 0%, which is hard to get used to but causes you to actually start paying attention to landmarks, taking cover, and become more immersed. Fighting off waves of Drauger with one-hit one-kills while desperately avoiding their counterattacks feels way more badass.

Skyrim Unbound causes the game to not start in Helgen. A must-have if you're starting your tenth playthough.

I do not have a high-powered system and own no expansions, so the audio and graphical mods I've included are low-powered but high-effect tweaks. My favorites are "Immersive Saturation Boost" (kills the ubiquitous washout terrible AAA aesthetic and brings out the actual color of Skyrim) and the "Sounds of Skyrim" series (which when combined with "IceBreaker's Improved Reverb" adds crazy ambiance to the game).

Enjoy!
